I Love You, Now Die
Hermione stood in the corridor, watching Draco Malfoy rapidly vanish and thinking about what just happened.
(.....no.) she thought. (No, I was just dreaming. I mean, come on....we're talking about Malfoy here...he hates people like me! He hates me! There's no way...)
A voice cut into Hermione's thoughts. "Miss Granger? What are you doing in this hallway? It's almost time for class to start..." It was Professor Dumbledore.
"Er....Professor..I....I was just..going to the library...but I seem to have lost track of time." Hermione nodded, trying to convince herself. "Yes. I think I'll head to class now. I'll see you later!"
"Goodbye, Miss Granger....."
Only when she was halfway to the Astronomy tower did Hermione think, did Dumbledore see Malfoy!?
It was lunchtime. Hermione, Harry, and Ron were sitting next to Fred, George, and Ginny. They were all talking about Sirius' class, since Fred and George had it already, but Hermione's thoughts were elsewhere. She was thinking about Malfoy. She had had a little crush on him since second year, but had never told anyone about it....except Ginny, but that really didn't matter then. Now...well, now, Hermione wasn't sure what to think. As long as Harry and Ron didn't find out what Malfoy did.
"Earth to Mione...." Ron waved a hand in front of her face. "Are you there?"
"Oh...I was thinking...sorry, what did you say?" Hermione grinned weakly in apology.
Harry looked concerned. "Mione, are you okay? You've been very quiet. And you're not eating. Are you sick?" he tried to peer into her eyes, but she laughed and gently pushed him away.
"I'm fine, Harry! I'm just...tired. Yes, tired."
"You're not sleeping well?" Ron and Harry exchanged dark looks. "Has Malfoy been bothering you? 'Cause if he has...." Ron pulled out his wand.
"No, no!" Hermione held up a hand. "It's not that! I was just....so excited to be back that I couldn't sleep. I couldn't wait until today to..go to my..new classes!" she smiled, proud of herself for thinking up such a good lie.
Harry laughed. "Well, that's not unusual! Anyway, we asked you how your first day as Head Girl went! You must be so happy."
"I am." Hermione flushed with pride again. "Today has been a wonderful day so far." she proceeded to tell them everything, leaving out the parts that included Malfoy. Then she remembered she had left her Arithmancy book in her dorm. "I'll be right back, okay? Just have to have it..."
Hermione pushed open the door of her room...and was not very happy to see Malfoy lying on his back on his bed, reading a Quidditch magazine. She rolled her eyes and went over to her bed.
"Hey, Granger." Malfoy said lazily, still flipping through the magazine.
She refused to acknowledge him....but just looking at him reminded her of how much she liked him. She bit her lip and fixed her face into a mask of cold indifference.
"Cat got your tongue, Granger?" he sounded amused. "Like I said, I won't bite..."
"I'm sure." she replied, still looking for that damn book. (Where the hell is it!?)
"Looking for this?" Malfoy smirked and held up Hermione's Arithmancy book. She closed her eyes, back to him, and cursed everything to hell for her awful luck.
"Give me my damn book, Malfoy."
"Whoa, no need to be so rude! How about a little please?" it was very obvious he was enjoying teasing her.
Rolling her sparkly brown eyes, she finally said, "Please give me my damn book." her voice dripped sarcasm.
"My pleasure." he tossed the book over to her bed, where it landed with a soft thump. Hermione snatched it up and turned to leave....only to find the door being blocked by Malfoy.
"What now!?" she practically screamed. This was torture. She liked him, but at the same time, it felt like a direct betrayl of her two best friends. After all, they had hated him since first year. But had they really ever gave him a fair chance....?
~*Draco's POV*~
I could see her mind working....and I knew she liked me. Everyone did. I'm not trying to be concited, ^a/n: yea, right!^ but everyone does. And I hate it. I've got little first years drooling over me, for Slytherin's sake!
All I wanted was for Hermione Granger to like me. I never had a chance before. I mean, her best friends are Potter and Weasel! The whole school knows we three hate eachother. Sure, I had insulted Hermione before....and back then, I thought I meant it. But then, I realized I only did it beacuse it was what Father told me to do.
I just want her to like me...and, if she does....I can only hope she doesn't find out my secret...because I'm not sure who it's gonna hurt more.....
~*Normal POV*~
Hermione finally looked up into Malfoy's cold grey eyes. She saw he was staring at her, but not really seeing her. His thoughts were somewhere else. She also saw that his eyes were kind of glazed...
"Um, Malfoy? ......Draco?" she tried. He looked kind of sad.
"What....?" he finally looked right at her. He was astonished she had called him that..she never called him that before....but he was also a little pleased.
"Um...did you have something to say, or...something....? I have to get to class, you know.." Hermione trailed off. Neither of them knew what to do. So Draco Malfoy did the only thing that would tell her how he felt. It would forever ruin his Slytherin rep, and..something else.....if she felt the same, but it would all be worth it.
Draco kissed Hermione....again.
a/n: Ok...I know. It's a little corny. Or stupid. Either one works. But, I ran outta ideas. All my good ones are used on the next few chapters. Go figure. Anyway...my point is, it'll get better. Sorry if you're disappointed right now. Wait a day or so and I'll have better chapters. And now..without further ado.....
Spooky Voice: WILL Harry, Ron, and Hermione have Sirius' class soon!? (yes, if it fits into my plot)
WILL Harry and Ron ever find out what Draco did!? (it's possible..yes, probably. Can't really tell without giving away the plot)
DOES Hermione feel the same!? (like, duh..I only said so about a million times...)
And WHAT is Draco's secret!? (I'll give ya a hint....on second thought, no I won't. use 'context clues' to figure it out! (dont ya hate it when teachers tell ya this!? lol))
